My name is Clinton Dike popular known as
not.nilc while my friends call me nilc. I am a music producer, artist and sound
engineer , I have produced over 100 beats & have engineered over hundred tracks. I started music at an early age of 11 but decided to dive into it fully at age 18 and I have been working for over 8 years with the music industry.
I was Introduced to the near community and web3 at large by The tune & he has shown me what it is , I have developed a passion for web 3 & I have decided to incorporate all my fans & friends and family to web3.
I have created a community
of over 70 people on telegram in less than a week & have also garnered a
following of over 200 on Twitter & this is just the beginning .
I have made partnerships with media bodies like https://www.notjustok.com
They are one of the biggest content providers in the whole of Africa & they have agreed to interview near creatives & post Near editorials on their platforms.
I have also made partnerships with Stephanie, a popular youtuber with a
channel known as “keeping up with steph”
She has agreed to post & create awareness for the near protocol, she is influential in her University, OAU, Obafemi Awolowo University, and we are
looking to narrow down focus to universities and penetrate to ensure more Near
Blockchain users/fans, bringing the Near ecosystem to these Universities. This
is one of our Aims as universities have large numbers of students that we would
love to introduce the NEAR Blockchain too. Lots of work to do.
We will be doing “University out reach” often and the reason is because the
Youth are usually energetic about what we have to offer as regards Blockchain
Wallet Creation, Blockchain entertainment, Audio nfts and Digital Art,
Opportunities.
Students would earn through Bounties, airdrop tokens, & gifts.
This would be ensuring that we garner new users in the Near protocol Blockchain
with each outreach. We shall also be introducing them to Near Daos where they
can learn on the Near protocol and develop relationships, I.e, Spirityut Dao,
BeatDao TenkDao amongst many others.

The Tune @TheTune100

Greetings to the NF, Creatives Dao and my fellow Media House Council members,
I am The Tune, Near, Web3 Musician, Dao Lead and Near enthusiast, I joined the
NEAR ecosystem last year and it’s been filled with building and creating as
regards relationships, Music and Dao Matters.The web3 space is an emerging
space that needs more awareness and it feels like it’s getting to a point where
it can’t get enough of that, especially the Near Blockchain which is even a
more decentralised Blockchain platform that more people need to get familiar
with, having had an understanding of Marketing and Organising events/Human
Resource, I would like to ensure that I also add values in this DAO for the
Near Protocol and Media House.
I would like to ensure that I put in energy into creating more awareness for
the Near Blockchain and creators with MEDIA HOUSES/on Air personalities and
influencers capable of spreading and giving more Hype to Near Daos and Near
Affiliated Creatives, however with Media House this is a goal I personally
would love to accomplish and Tackle.
I imagine a situation where In Africa we have live talk shows with these set
of acquainted individuals majorly for Near Promotion, Web3 and our Creatives.
I am Glad to be onboard as a council member and pledge to do my best with
Media House Dao.
We have personal contacts that collaborations can be set up with to ensure
that more awareness is created to the mass, more Near wallets opened, more
fans/community members gathered for our Daos and the Near Protocol and would
love to achieve this with the Media House Dao. One of which is, profile below,
as we attended the same tertiary institution, connections have been made to
ensure relationship building towards progress for Promoting of near protocol,
Educational contents and our creatives content Sponsored by the Near Blockchain.
We should be looking to build connections such as this IRL to create more
awareness for the Blockchain.

I would also be working with the Media House Team to ensure more progress is
ascertained.
One of our goals is to collaborate with a media house in Ogun State Nigeria,
as we have personal contactswe currently are in communication with to further
expose the Near Blockchain to, through stategies building, with the end Goal of
onboarding continuously the People of Ogun State through events, and also
getting a time to speak with the Governor as we are familiar with the States
Media House.
(His Excellency, Governor, Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun)
Having the Governor on our side would be Massive and it can be accomplished
through Organising on air Television Public speaking involving certain Near Dao
Leads over here in Nigeria.This would involve live enlightenment on
Nearprotocol, NearDaos and means of operation so the people can be sensitised.
We can have this periodically while we establish a portfolio in the Media
House where Near educational and major dao event CLIPS would be on display at
certain times and days of the week, all for creating more awareness for Near
and the Daos.

PROJECT PROPOSAL
:clipboard: Project Overview: Short High-Level Summary of the Purpose of Your Project

Good day and greetings to the Marketing Team & everyone reading this, as project title implies , this proposal is strictly to achieve the purpose of getting the public more information, about the “Near Protocol”. To near Near literally means to get closer to Near, to get exposed to Near, to start building on Near. What we at the Mediahousedao mean by Nearing near is simple,

it means how do we get people to know about near, how do we get people to understand Near Daos, Near Defi benefits? How do we get people to see the benefits of web 3 via near,

How do we get folks on other networks to upgrade to the near protocol network

And how to introduce near to people who have never used web3 & how to get them awareness about Us & Near, hence the term " Nearing Near" these would be achieved by youtube bounties, podcasts , trivias & airdrops

Uhmm, My Proposal is something different mate.

We did the podcast or the whole project complete free and all of our contribution is for the NEAR Ecosystem voluntarily

100% of our asked funding is completely airdropped to the Community.

Just want to make that clear.

Calm my bro , although theres a bit of a link, which is the “podcasts” have a beautiful day Sir

I am sorry if you feel a bit aggressive in my comment. I was just trying make it clear about the difference when you linked my proposal for an example.

My suggestion: Should have done some couple of episode first, build your fanbase then you got something in your hand to worth considering rather everything is on the paper. Always keep this in mind: “Contribute first, Funding comes later”.

Have a great day

Already doing my bit to contribute to the ecosystem, you could do your research, but thanks for your advice… & trust me , i dont feel any form of aggression, your opinion would always remain “your opinion” , like i said earlier, have a beautiful day once again.

Hello @Dacha , @Bailey12, good evening to you both, it might seem to you both that i have not built a fanbase or everything i said is on paper so therefore i decided to show a little of the value we have created in the Near ecosystem.

  1. in only two months of operation @mediahousedao has built an enthusiastic community of 73 members on telegram, over 240 followers on twitter , almost 40 followers from instagram, with no help whatsoever. These communities comprises of mainly web2 Users whom i am trying to show the benefits of “Nearing Near” and are looking up to us seriously, find attached a screenshot, showing proof

  1. Our Council member & project collaborator @thetune has pioneered @spirityut and has amassed a commumity of almost 1,000 people
    he has an experience of podcasting & has hosted over 20 podcasts on twitter spaces & Instagram & telegram , find below proof of his work

so you see we are contributing our bit to the ecosystem, and so many fans, friends, family and community are looking up to us, but we need the help of @marketingdao-council to bring this project to life.
If there are any more questions , we would love to answer them , thank you for your time

Hi @MediaHouse
Thank you for the robust proposal.

Having reviewed your content, it’s not possible to support this application at this time.

Youtube channel:

This is fun Vlog but it doesn’t focus on Web3, Blockchain, Near, etc.

Twitter Spaces
There’s a lot more focus on religion as opposed to Near / Near’s Ecosysetm, Blockchain, etc.

You referenced a few twitter spaces that have very little engagement:
https://twitter.com/spirityut/status/1593254270874562561?s=19
https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdJrznWPepJX?s=20

Perhaps try to structure your focus a bit more and set aside the types of content you want to produce. Then build up that community a bit more.

Okay , gonna get with the team & work on that. Thank you

Hi @MediaHouse i have reviewed your proposal and your replies to comments from council.

I like your enthusiasm and have noted your past work but unfortunately i am unable to support at this time - in the current market conditions we have had to make some hard choices on which projects to allocate funding.

Please continue building your content and feel freel to submit a proposal in the future.
